Psalms 14
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.
Een psalm van David, voor den opperzangmeester. De dwaas zegt in zijn hart: Er is geen God. Zij verderven het, zij maken het gruwelijk met hun werk; er is niemand, die goed doet.
2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.
De HEERE heeft uit den hemel nedergezien op de mensenkinderen, om te zien, of iemand verstandig ware, die God zocht.
3 They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; the venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness are in their ways; and the way of peace, they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Zij zijn allen afgeweken, te zamen zijn zij stinkende geworden; er is niemand, die goed doet, ook niet een.
4 Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?
Hebben dan alle werkers der ongerechtigheid geen kennis, die mijn volk opeten, alsof zij brood aten? Zij roepen den HEERE niet aan.
5 They have not called upon the Lord. There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.
Aldaar zijn zij met vervaardheid vervaard; want God is bij het geslacht des rechtvaardigen.
6 For the Lord is with the just generation. You have confounded the counsel of the needy because the Lord is his hope.
Gijlieden beschaamt den raad des ellendigen, omdat de HEERE zijn Toevlucht is.
7 Who will grant the salvation of Israel from Zion? When the Lord turns away the captivity of his people, Jacob will exult, and Israel will rejoice.
Och, dat Israels verlossing uit Sion kwam! Als de HEERE de gevangenen Zijns volks zal doen wederkeren, dan zal zich Jakob verheugen, Israel zal verblijd zijn.
